SPACE - Space/KLF/The Orb (Reinstated)



Recently Alex Patterson on his PMT radio show broadcast "Space" in its entirety from an original DAT he made at the time with Jimi Cauty before his parts were taken off and the LP released as a solo Cauty project on KLF Communications in 1990.
Here is the full ORIGINAL version from the show edited for your pleasure

Space is a 1990 ambient house concept album by Jimmy Cauty under the alias Space. Originally intended to be The Orb's debut album, Space was refactored for release as a solo album following Cauty's departure from that group. Space was independently released on KLF Communications, the record label formed to distribute the work of Cauty's other project, The KLF.

Space began as a collaboration between Dr. Alex Paterson and Jimmy Cauty, the original line-up of The Orb. It was, according to Cauty's record label KLF Communications, to be The Orb's debut album,[1][2] but when Cauty left The Orb in early 1990 to concentrate on producing music as The KLF with Bill Drummond, he took the recordings with him. Reworked to remove Paterson's contributions, the album was released on the KLF Communications label, with Cauty alone receiving credit.[3]
According to Cauty, "It was a jam, all done on Oberheim keyboards. Loads of samples... were chucked in there as well. I started on Monday morning and by Friday it was all done".[4]

Space takes the listener on a voyage through the solar system from Mercury outwards, with vast distances of empty space between worlds represented by periods of minimalist ambience and near-silence. Synthesisers, excerpts from classical compositions and nursery rhymes (including Twinkle Twinkle Little Star), sinusoidal loops, and communications from space flight controllers are among the sounds used to describe the voyage. This musical interpretation of a physical journey is also a characteristic of the early ambient house recordings The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld and The KLF's Chill Out.
Cauty has called Space "a record for 14-year-old space cadets to go and take acid [to] for the first time".[4]



Allmusic attributes "incredibly sparse ambience" to Space, with "long periods of near-silence [and] only an occasional break for galactic sine-waves and similarly spacy tones". The album is "more important for who's on it than what's in it", they concluded.[6] It is worth noting that demand outstripped supply on release with the result that numerous bootleg versions of the CD version are in circulation.

Fifth of people in UK will suffer from poor health before age 30 Researchers said that a high proportion of the population will not reach their pension age in good health A fifth of people in England cannot expect good health beyond their 30th birthday, according to analysis of the nation’s wellbeing. By the age of 50, most people will have at least one long-term health condition, such as serious mental illness, asthma or diabetes. The figures, based on data from medical records, calculate that the amount of time during which people can on average expect to be in good health is more than a decade less than official estimates. Delaying the onset of such significant health conditions by even one year could save the NHS more than £3 billion a year, researchers said. The research, by Outcomes Based Healthcare (OBH), uses data from GP and hospital records to determine people’s “healthspan” — the length of time  they can expect to live in good health. It foun...
